Nice find...put my signature down. I wanted to get 20% tint all around, and even considered doing 35% front and 20% back....but i am a daily driver and don't want to get hassled by cops. Why does CA have to be so strict on tint...it sucks!

So did you ever get your car tinted? I'm going to do it this weekend and I would really like to hear some input. I'm planning on doing a 40 in front and I’m not sure what to get for the back. My only options are 30 and 15 (the film I'm getting does not have 20). Would 40 and 15 look awkward coz of big jump in shade? Is it better to just go with 40 and 30 to make it look more natural? My only concern with 30 is that it might not be worth it for the back coz it’s too light. I really don't know what to do. I really need some help. I'm paying a lot for the tints coz I’m getting the axcess llumar which is the top of the line and will not mess up your navigation and radio reception.

No I haven't got my car tinted. I was going to end up getting 50% front and 20% back. For sure I want my back part to be dark. And since I'm daily driver, but still want tint in my fronts cuz it get so hot while driving, I think 50% will have to do. I think this setup will be good since there is a good amount difference in shade from the fronts and backs...so hopefully cops won't bother me.

So if anything, it really depends on what you want and don't want....dark tint all around and risk getting pulled-over all the time, or go with a light set-up in front and dark set-up in back, and be a little more at ease while driving. The laws aren't going to change anytime soon...so we're just going to have to deal with it.

BTW: This month's "Ride of The Month" has tint set-up of 50% front and 35% back. I think it looks alright...and I can be happy with this shade difference...but 20% back for me though.

[Rock_Steady_RHD]

tint is ***. It should be banned.

[hiwind]

when i pick up the si in september i'll stick with 5% on the back 3 windows, but when it hits summer again and goes up to 100-110 the fronts are getting tinted 20-35% - thank g-d the si doesn't have leather! "Swamp a$$" lol

What you can do about it is not break the law. Simple as that.

Because for some reason, some people in California like to drive around with guns in their front seats and shoot at people, including police, every now and then. Sure, not having tint might be a minor inconvenience to, but you dont NEED tint in your front windows. Hell, not being allowed to drivve home from the bar after binge drinking is an inconvenience to some people, maybe would should get rid of the drunk driving laws too. And stoping at red lights? Psh, if i dont see any cars around, why should i even bother slowing down, thats just a dumb law.

And for those officers that have been shot, Im sure that sucks a lot more than your minor inconvenience.

1. Yeah, they are worthless. We should just have no laws. That would make everything so much better.

2. Boo-F'in-Hoo

Not serious at all. He just has issues because he cant follow the law so he makes up dramatic stories to make it seem like he is being oppressed.

Well, most people would use this simple logic:

My car + tints = Ticket

My car - tints = No ticket

You can stop rolling them down if you take it off.

well said ImTheVoiceOfGod I had mine tinted and knew form day one i was eventually gonna get pulled over. So now that they are off I worry not about my windows

I wish it would be legal to tint my front windows but its not legal cuz of douchebags that like to shoot cops. So eh I can live with untinted winows

And I can understand that. You knew it was illegal and you took the consequences like as you should.
Other people tint thier windows KNOWING that it is illegal, than complain like disappointed 5 years old christmas when they get a ticket.

If you want to do something illegal, go ahead. But when you get pulled over and ticketed, be a man and accept the consequences. There is nothing to blame but your own childish ways.

[effNsi]

^^ Yep i wasnt mad for a minute just glad i got away w/o a ticket

[ImTheVoiceOfGod]

If tint is really that important to your self image, here is what you do.

1. Go to Wal-Mart
2. Buy a laser pointer
3. Aim directly into your left retna
4. Turn on laser pointer
5. Hold for 5-10 minutes
6. Repeat steps 3 - 5 on right retna
7. Go to your local optometrist and get a waiver signed for photophobia
8. Tint as dark as you want.

Simple as that. Enjoy

Im not saying that limo tint on the front should be legal. All im saying is allow some kind of tint to be legal in your front windows as it is getting too hot here in California thanks to global warming. If cops are worried about not being able to see the driver then why do some states allow it? I know that some states allow up tp 35%. Maybe at least 50% should be made legal. Both side can get what they want, drivers get at least some type of heat protection and cops can still see the driver. What so wrong about that.

If your only problem is with the heat from the sun, you are allowed to place a removable sun shade on the front side windows if they dont excede 35%.
So if that is your real reason, there is your solution.

As for other states, that is their local governments call. They dont feel they need tint laws, then that is their choice. Other states have no relevance to the laws in California.

[effNsi]

35-50 in the front would be great.
i just like the way it looks i'm not complaining about the heat

[Nakagaki]

I don't like the cop's that are douche bags (for no reason)...

But the cops that are cool and understanding I like. :)

Too much power = big fat head (for some cops)
